• Notes

  Custom Field:<_FA#> 19 Mar 1829Acton by Nantwich, by L. J. Wilson [minister] W illiam GARNETT was the oldest surviving son of George GARNETT] and Ann SANDER S]. William was eight years older than the youngest son in the family, John Jasper GARNETT Sr. from whom my own line is descended. With the death of Geor ge GARNETT, a cheesefactor and property owner of Nantwich, William had alrea dy inherited the bulk of his father's estate. Land tax records for the towns hip of Haughton, in fact, show that ownership of properties previously owned by George Garnett (specifically the estate of Haughton Hall, seven adjacent p ieces of land near to Haughton Hall, as well as property at Overton) actually passed in title to the Reverend William Garnett in 1809---five years before the death of George Garnett. This advance inheritance was probably facilit ated to avoid the heavy death taxes imposed on inheritance of property valued above 2000-pounds. William attended school in Nantwich, and later studied for the ministry. He was appointed Rector of Church Tilston in 1798, where he r emained until 1829. For part of the year 1805, Reverend William Garnett also served as preacher at Bunbury Church. On September 16, 1815 at Lichfield Ca thedral, the Reverend William Garnett married Elizabeth Sophia BISHTON, daug hter of John BISHTON of Kilsall, Shropshire and of his wife Sophia [BAYLIS] B ishton. Elizabeth BISHTON was only 17 years old at the time of the marriage, while the Reverend William Garnett at age 49 was thirty-two years her seni or. The Bishton family was well-to-do, John Bishton having made a considera ble fortune form iron smelters and blast furnaces located at Snedhill, Shopsh ire. Another older daughter of John Bishton, Lucy Bishton, had already marr ied William BOTFIELD---who was one of the even more wealthy BOTFIELD brothers . These Botfields (William and his brothers Thomas and Beriah) were owners of a group of ironworks known as the Langley Field, Hinkshay, Dark Lane and S tirchley Furnaces which employed thousands of men, women and youths. Besides the iron blast furnaces, the Botfields operated a number of coal mines and c olliery works and owned land as well. The Bishtons and their in-laws, the Botf ields, were among the wealthiest families in Shropshire at that time, and th e Reverend William Garnett had the great good fortune to marry into even more property beyond what he had already inherited from his father. William and Elizabeth Sophia Garnett had two sons, William Bishton GARNETT (born June 27 , 1816) and Alfred Ingilby GARNETT (born 1822). There apparently was also a daughter (her name and the particulars of her birth are not currently known), but she lived until about the age of 17 and was said at one time to be enga ged to her cousin George GARNETT (the son of John Jasper Garnett and Elizabet h Craven Garnett). The Reverend William GARNETT died in 1829 at the age of 63 years. Of the children of William GARNETT and his wife Elizabeth Sophia (Bis hton) GARNETT, the following is now known to have occurred: William Bishton GA RNETT, born June 27, 1816 was educated at Shrewsbury school and Brasenose Co llege Oxford where he received an M.A. and subsequently entered the ministry. Under the provisions of the will of his uncle William BOTFIELD (the husban d of his mother's elder sister Lucy), William Bishton Garnett inherited (upo n the death of his cousin Beriah Botfield who expired without heirs in 1863) the property and estate of the Botfield family at Decker Hill, Shifnal, Salop . By Royal License dated October 30, 1863, he was also entitled by the Will of William Botfield to take the surname of BOTFIELD in addition to and after that of GARNETT and to bear the arms of Botfield quarterly with those of Gar nett. William Bishton GARNETT-BOTFIELD married firstly Sarah Dutton, daught er of William Dutton of Halewood House, Lancash William GARNETT was the oldest surviving son of George GARNETT] and Ann SANDERS].

He returned to England and rented Haughton Hall from his brother, W. B. Garnett-Botfield.
